Sentence Fluency Phonics Strips

I am so excited to share a new resource with you! Phonics is such a huge part of first grade reading instruction. I use phonics strips to reinforce my phonics instruction and my students this past year did a great job of learning the phonics skills with the help of the phonics strips. I noticed that I needed a bridge from the phonics strips to reading fluently within text, so I created Sentence Fluency Phonics Strips!

These strips utilize our weekly phonics pattern AND first grade sight words! So not only will my students be working on the phonics pattern of the week, they will also practice their sight words and fluency at the same time. I believe this resource will be very helpful as a bridge from phonics to text reading.

I have included 24 different phonics skills (270 sentence phonics strips) including a kindergarten review ring (short vowel and kindergarten sight words). Blends, digraphs, long vowels, inflectional endings, variant vowels, and other phonics skills are included in the pack. I anticipate using the rings for guided reading groups, independent reading practice, timed fluency, and intervention. You can check them out here!

Reading is one of the most important skills one must master to succeed in life. It helps your child succeed in school, helps them build self-confidence, and helps to motivate your child. Being able to read will help your child learn more about the world, understand directions on signs and warnings on labels, allow them to discover reading as an entertainment, and help them gather information.

Learning to read is very different from learning to speak, and it does not happen all at once. There is a steady progression in the development of reading ability over time. The best time for children to start learning to read is at a young age - even before they enter pre-school. Once a child is able to speak, they can begin developing basic reading skills. Very young children have a natural curiosity to learn about everything. They are naturally intrigued by the printed texts they see, and are eager to learn about the sounds made by those letters. You will likely notice that your young child likes to look at books and thoroughly enjoys being read to. They will even pretend to behave like a reader by holding books and pretend to read them.

At what age can you start teaching a child to read? When they're babies? At 2 years old, 3, 4, or 5 years old, or wait until they're in school?

If you delay your child's reading skill development until he or she enters school, you are putting your child at risk...

Did you know that 67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level! According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, of those 67%, 33% read at just the BASIC level, and 34% CANNOT even achieve reading abilities of the lowest basic level!

There is a super simple and extremely effective system that will even teach 2 and 3 year old children to read.

This is a unique reading program developed by two amazing parents and reading teachers, Jim and Elena, who successfully taught their four children to read before turning 3 years old. The reading system they developed is so effective that by the time their daughter was just 4 years 2 months old, she was already reading at a grade 3 level. They have videos to prove it.

Their reading system is called Children Learning Reading, and it is nothing like the infomercials you see on TV, showing babies appearing to read, but who have only learned to memorize a few word shapes. This is a program that will teach your child to effectively decode and read phonetically. It will give your child a big head start, and allow you to teach your child to read and help your child develop reading skills years ahead of similar aged children.

This is not a quick fix solution where you put your child in front of the TV or computer for hours and hope that your child learns to "read"... somehow...

This is a reading program that requires you, the parent, to be involved. But the results are absolutely amazing. Thousands of parents have used the Children Learning Reading program to successfully teach their children to read.
